Honors for Brigadier General Larry Mills

Officers of the Confederate States of America (CSA) Armies & Fellow Club Members,

I am immensely pleased to gather everyone, again, here today to celebrate an officer of the Confederate States of America (CSA) Armies who has provided a great many services to the CSA & the Club since he returned. Brigadier General Larry Mills has done a great job with organizing, designing and coordinating several tournaments since his return including the current Clash of Titans Tournament! He's also been a great help at the Vicksburg Military Institute (VMI) serving as a Training Instructor and working with new recruits. Both Larry & the Commandant of the Vicksburg Military Institute (VMI) General Nick Kunz are working together to bring these fantastic tourneys to the members.

Larry also serves as the Chief Signal Officer of the Signals Bureau on the CSA Command Staff helping out with a variety of tasks. He also serves as the Division Commander of the 1st (Mahone's) Division, III (Swamp Legion) Corps, Army of Northern Virginia (ANV). He was previously a member in 2005 and served in the Army of Georgia (AoG).

Larry has been a positive force for engaging the members of the CSA & Club, providing his advice, time & assistance to not only the tournaments but to planning, organization & management of the CSA side of the Club!

It gives me great pride to award Larry the following for his outstanding service to the CSA & Club.

Thank you Larry from ALL of us!

Three Cheers for Brigadier General Mills!

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Given that Larry's a Texan, I have asked Drinkin' & Fightin' General Cam McOmish & his String Band to play us "The Yellow Rose of Texas" in Larry's Honor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLUG25ccunc

Fine Sirs! <Salute> I am deeply honored!

It has been a pleasure designing these battles and then hearing from everyone when the shooting starts. There are always kinks, spits and spurts as these tournaments start, but all of the combatants have been gracious and supportive. Obviously Nick and I are constantly breaking ground and trying new concepts and when you get the positive response the members of this club have given us it is encouraging. There will be more surprises coming over the next year and your continued support and interest is reward enough.

Always your obedient servant and proud representative of the Great State of Texas!

Huzzah! So say we all.
Thank you, Larry, for all you are doing — often behind the scenes, unheralded — to benefit our club.

Well deserved honors!
